there’s your counterargument. no “oh he’s a weirdo” required. i don’t even think he’s what we mean when we say “weirdo” typically. i think he’s a grifter and sexual predator atop a bunch of idiot grunts, because that’s what cult leaders often are

The first three screenshots here are followed by leftist journalists & artists that i follow, the last is a post by an actual, committed Nazi, who posts enough plausibly deniable stuff aiming for distribution on the left that I've had to ping friends about their reposts before.

The thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

The lesbian bar thing is just an object lesson of how you have to at some point say “you are a crazy person, fuck off and go away”, like you can’t let yourself be ruled by the whims of people like that. Tell them to go to another bar.

I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

You want the morally complicated guys who “modernized China”, you want Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, the two men who Mao repeatedly went to to fix all of his batshit insane mistakes and then punished for it when they did Mao himself was, most generously, a sucking abyss of irredeemable stupidity

Engage in any discussion about fast fashion/clothing prices and you can see this real quick. "Worker solidarity" disappears real quick when you point out that in an ethical system, we the consumers would and should be buying less clothing at higher prices.

Why talk about how nuts the AI rationalist sex cult is, and not just focus on the (very real) risks and harms of AI? Well, when we're discussing "who should get to regulate AI, and how," I think it's VERY relevant to talk about the antisocial, unsettling ways many people running US AI think.

i think the closest analogy to 'what is going on at AI companies' is 'what was going on at JPL in the 1950s,' where communists, Satanists, swingers and adherents of a bizarre Russian Orthodox-adjacent techno-optimist microsect ended up doing a tremendous amount of important rocket science

If you've got a sex cult and a nice compound that was given to you for free with stolen money because you preached the gospel of doom really well, how could you stop preaching it? If elaborating upon doomsday prophesies is worth money -- and it is -- you will get more of them.

One of the underrated AI risks we’re already seeing is a ratcheting up of surveillance driven by a ravenous need for ever more free-range organic training data.

“The base” means core voters, not those furthest from center who denounce the party and say don’t vote. Every sign says the Democratic base is very energized: party registration, likely voter screens, primary and special election turnout, generic ballot, which states are competitive, you name it.

are my fellow elder emos in a headspace to receive information that will hurt them welcome to the black parade released 20yr ago today
Welcome to the Black Parade
Article Talk
JA
i
Not to be confused with The Black Parade or Black Parade (song).
"Welcome to the Black Parade" is a song by the American rock band My Chemical Romance from their third studio alt
im Ine Black Parade (2006). It
was released as the album's lead single on September 12, 2006.
A mainly emo and pop-punk
song, it opens up with a piano introduction that evolves into a fusion of several other rock-esque genres throughout its run time. The lyrics are based around the album's central character, the Patient, as he recalls a childhood memory before his death.
According to band frontman Gerard Way, the broader theme of the song is the "triumph of the human spirit".

you may think i am joking but i am not. they’re talking about AI the way protestant zealots talked about the end times. in both cases we are hearing people talk about themselves — their desires, their lust for destruction, their yearning to trample their rivals underfoot.

Making everyone feel like there's a fixed pie of resources and their slice is shrinking and everyone is out to fuck everyone else creates fertile ground for conservatism & eventually authoritarianism. The absolute core conviction of online leftists to the contrary is endlessly baffling.

Large portions of the data center backlash are based on moral panic, but the the tech right VC types upset by it are very funny considering how gleeful they were about the demise of ‘legacy’ media. What’s that? You’re missing epistemic gatekeepers who would place complex facts in context? Tough shit

But just because you often don't know the right vector doesn't mean you can't understand the wrong one. Sometimes, when hill climbing, you hit a local maxima and need to descend to find a better hill to climb. But you should despise those who want to leap off the hill so they can rule the valley.

Yes this has been the main thing that has utterly put me off the populist wing of the left, their embrace of anti-tax sloponomics. (Of course they say they are not this since they want to "tax the rich" but always so defined as to exclude most people.) Libertarians waving red flags, hate it so much.

There is a universal conviction left-of-center that people are basically good at heart and innocent of sin Any sin that they do commit is only because something else, the media or the economy or the system, compelled them to it and so they ultimately bear no responsibility This is an error
